Warmly ripe red fruits on the nose with supple, appetizing bitter cherry flavour, rounded tannins, judiciously balanced acidity and food-friendly bitter cherry bite on the finish.
Warm, spicy red fruit showing hints of clove and nutmeg on the nose evolves into rounded ripe cherry fruit encased in solid but comfortably approachable tannic structure. Well-integrated fruit, spice and discreet oak on the finish. Substantial, food-friendly wine.
Done in the super-Toscan style, with 25% each of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon added to Sangiovese, it shows a nice ruby-purple colour. Quite oaky, there is a good expression of ripe red fruits on the still-young nose. Equally young on the palate, it is firm, even tannic with supple, compact fruity extract. Dry finish. Will improve over the next 3 to 5 years.
Ruby with a garnet rim. Fine and elegant nose of red fruits with notes of dried fruits. Medium body, nice acidity and delicate tannins for a good balance on the palate. Drinks well now.
Ruby-garnet. Nose is light with delicate fruity notes and a hint of oak. Palate is soft with a nice fruity core and a tight finish. Wines of this style have a charm of their own, on the opposite side of show-off.
Dense ruby in colour, this wine has an intense nose of plums, cooked cherries and raisins. It’s full-bodied and rich, in fact, a fruitcake of a wine but nicely balanced with a firm finish.
No question this modestly priced Super Tuscan IGT isn’t quite what the blockbuster 2007 vintage was, but it’s still a super wine at a fantastic price. It’s a modern blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with an earthy nose of currants, cherries and small blackberries, mocha spice, leather and dried herbs. It is less concentrated than the 2007 but better balanced for short-term drinking. In all, an earthy, spicy red that shows red fruits, dark plums and minerals delivered on a racy spine of acidity.
